Broadcaster and journalist Fi Glover and digital advisor Gemma Milne examine some of the UK鈥檚 biggest problems and consult a jury of end users to determine the best solution for all.

In this edition, the team are on the hunt for a radical solution to the UK鈥檚 problem of large scale supermarket food waste. Britain throws out over 10 million tonnes of food each year 鈥� which is more than enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall over 100 times.

Three advocates present their plans directly to our panel of consumers who rigorously interrogate them and ultimately decide on the solution they believe will have the greatest impact.

Under consideration are a proposal to remove 鈥渦se by鈥� and 鈥渟ell by鈥� dates on products in order to change consumer habits, food recycling through 鈥渘o waste鈥� shops on every high street and 鈥済leaning鈥� on farms, and an algorithmic tech solution that introduces dynamic pricing to the retailer鈥檚 shelves.

Fi and Gemma work with the panel to judge each solution, and together they have to reach a consensus on the best way forward.
